In order to build the schools of tomorrow, Fulton County Schools needs you today.

That’s the motto of a special committee charged with reviewing the standards used to design new schools and renovate older ones. Known commonly in the industry as “ed specs,” educational specifications are the building design characteristics that support educational programs and provide equitable facilities standards for school construction.

Over the past several months, Fulton County Schools staff have been engaging targeted groups to share information about the process and collect feedback that will be used in developing a 2017-2022 capital plan. In mid-September, several community meetings located throughout the county have been set to gather further input.

• Monday, September 14, 6:45 p.m. – Sandtown Middle School
• Monday, September 14, 7:00 p.m. – Milton High School
• Tuesday, September 15, 7:00 p.m. – Chattahoochee High School
• Tuesday, September 15, 6:30 p.m. – Paul D. West Middle School
• Wednesday, September 16, 7:00 p.m. – Roswell High School
• Wednesday, September 16, 6:30 p.m. – Dunwoody Springs Elementary School

Design consultants from DeJong-Richter, a nationally recognized educational facility planning firm, will lead a discussion about how school buildings can support a personalized learning environment for the 21st Century.
Parents, teachers, students, business owners and community members are encouraged to participate.
